Summertime Killer (1972): Chris Mitchum Turns Up the Heat on Revenge


Hot town, Summertime Killer. 
Chris Mitchum’s gonna get dirty and gritty.
 Get down, with this review 
and find out if it was great or shitty. 
All around, people getting shot dead, 
and the action’s getting hot, hotter than a match head. 

Right, now that I have that Lovin’ Spoonful parody out of my system, I'll start this review in earnest. The sweltering heat of summer has definitely arrived here at The Lair, and unlike the main character of today’s film, I don’t have a houseboat to moor in the Mediterranean. If I did, I would probably also do more dirt biking than I do now. Until then, I’m going to be here bringing you films like today’s, Summertime Killer. It’s a story of revenge, kidnapping, and action all set against the backdrop of a Spanish heat wave.
